Representative of the Provincial Land Fund Development Center reports at the conference
At the working session, departments and localities reported some difficulties and obstacles in implementing the projects. For the Ho Chi Minh City - Thu Dau Mot - Chon Thanh Expressway project, the slow approval of land compensation unit prices has affected the approval of compensation, support, and resettlement plans, as well as the disbursement of capital allocated for the project in 2025. The handed-over site area for the project so far only reaches 2.8%, significantly affecting the project's completion progress as planned.
Vice Chairman of the PPC Bui Minh Thanh speaks at the conference
Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the PPC Bui Minh Thanh assessed that the work has been basically carried out on schedule, and the "bottleneck" regarding land prices has been resolved. He urged each department and locality to make greater efforts and determination to accelerate the project progress. By May 20, 2025, land acquisition notices are to be completed. Simultaneously, surveying and inventory taking are to be deployed; localities that have issued land unit prices should proceed with public listing, and the remaining localities should urgently approve land prices. The Land Fund Development Center should review and mobilize additional human resources for land price approval for the projects.
Chairman of the PPC Vo Van Minh concludes the conference
Giving direction at the conference, Chairman of the PPC Vo Van Minh stated that the public investment disbursement rate in the first 6 months of 2025 largely depends on the progress of these projects. Therefore, localities need to make greater efforts, and the Secretaries and Chairmen of districts and cities should uphold their sense of responsibility, working together to further accelerate the work progress. To ensure the disbursement of medium-term and 2025 capital allocated for the project, and to secure the construction site, it is necessary to urgently complete the procedures for approving the compensation plan for the remaining land area affected by the Phuoc Hoa Rubber Joint Stock Company project. Localities are to continue finalizing procedures related to surveying, inventory taking, and approving unit prices and compensation plans. The PPC will launch a peak campaign for public investment disbursement with milestones on June 30, 2025, and August 30, 2025.
